Sorry, for not having done this in the first mail already: I've found another occurence of the problem in a logfile, which I had forgotten about:
--- snip --- [...] Nov 20 14:30:00 atlan CROND[4109]: (root) CMD ( /sbin/rmmod -as) Nov 20 14:30:00 atlan CROND[4110]: (till) CMD (fetchmail&> /dev/null) Nov 20 14:34:45 atlan kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

This was 2.4.7-ac3 compiled w/ an earlier version of gcc (2.96-85). And in deed, my problem was sometimes accompanied by a 'kernel: hdc: lost interrupt'. But this seems to have gone, because I removed one disk from the system and moved hdc -> hda.
That there's such a long period between these two occurences, doesn't mean, that my machine did not hang in the meantime, but I did not find anything in the logs. Perhaps the messages didn't make it through?
